It seems to me that having a shell script prompt for the root password is a recipe for disaster, but you can easily check to see if the user is already root, and bail if not.
That is what I currently do. I am just wanting to get fancy: if [ -z "`/usr/bin/whoami | grep root`" ]; then echo "" # ErrorSound echo 'Dude! You must be root to do this.' echo "Try" echo " su root -c \"updateffth $1\"" echo 'Exiting. Bummer ...' echo "" Pause exit 1 fi
